Another acid folk delicatessen from The Village Thing catalogue, The Sun Also Rises was recorded by Graham Hemingway (vocals, guitar) and Anne Hemingway (vocals, dulcimer, glockenspiel, vibes, percussion). They were occasionally joined by John Turner (string bass, finger-picked & with a bow) and Andy Legget (whistle on one of the songs). It features an amazing tapestry of acid folk sounds with great male/female vocal harmonies. On the sources of this record you will hear echoes of The Incredible String Band, Comus, C.O.B or Tir Na Nog, but of course delivered with the own personality of this Cardiff duo, very hippie sounding with a very trippy athmosphere. It is really a delicatessen for your ears!
The album was originally released in 1970, and our reissue will include one bonus track not on the original release, taken from a 1972 Village Thing sampler. Comes in beautifully reproduced artwork in nice matt finish. Not only a top listener, but also a beautiful addition to your acid folk collection. Remember it's just 500 copies, it will run away fast! Comes an insert with the lyrics.
